Being able to build the build dependencies of cmake or parts of GCC such
as gccgo is not something I would consider "fancy". Furthermore, more and
more packages are being ported to Rust which means m68k will either die
a long death or have to switch to 4 bytes alignment.

I am not asking you as you're not involved in maintaining Debian/m68k.
